[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i just spoke to buymobilephones.net customer services and thought i would share

i rang to ask about my pre order status since it didn't change since the 23rd (the day i pre ordered)

they said they wont be getting stock still late next week and will start shipping back orders when they do

i swiftly cancelled my order

if anyone knows a place that will defiantly have stock on release day and will ship on the same day i would really appreciate it
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
I used clove and was emailed. The play will be shipping friday
[Xperia Play General] PHOENIXROSE:
Thats not good news as i ordered from bymobiles :(
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
i ordered mine from box.co.uk £465. they still have 6 in stock. guaranteed latest april 1st delivery, i called them, they said they will get the shipment in today (30th) but depending on what time they get it in, they might be able to send it out today! i might have it by tomorrow but they stressed most likely it'll be friday.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
funny enough, i checked buymobilephones.net today and now the site says they have both the arc and play in stock, perhaps the customer service rep i spoke to was an idiot and they will actually ship them this week

im going to contact sales tomorrow and see what response i get
[Xperia Play General] PHOENIXROSE:
i had a look but both appear to still be on pre-order although they have confirmed on twitter the arc is in stock and has a 48 hour turn around time to dispatch :( i have asked about the play stock they said they are expecting stock soon
[Xperia Play General] PHOENIXROSE:
ignore me they are shipping ;)
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
so.....they are shipping the play? arc? or both?

if they are shipping today i will probably buy from them right now

*EDIT*

i couldn't wait for your response so i just phoned them to confirm and yes, they do have them available for next day delivery :)

*LAST EDIT*

i decided to order, i was told to look out for an email, not the automated response

Hi, I'm looking for an app that records FM radio (not streaming radio).

You would expect such a feature from a modern phone when it's available for old devices since some ten years ago!
[Android Apps and Games] o0adam0o:
I would love this also but have been unable to find it.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberdimitri:
Still no luck.

I wonder if it's even possible, or if the sound from the FM receiver goes straight to the speakers (or headphones) as happens with the sound of a call (that's why we can't have a proper call recorder app).

Does anyone know if its possible to flash the desire z without rooting the phone. If possible how
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
What are you trying to flash? If you're trying to flash a custom ROM, the ROMs themselves are rooted. So even if it were somehow possible to flash without prior root, you would still be rooted afterwards.
[G2 and Desire Z General] darks1der:
I am trying to flash a stock rom that was rooted but i accedently went in to recovery and it cant be rooted anymore by using visionary(+), x4root or the rage method. So i need to flash back to stock or need a way to flash a custom rom. If you have any ideas im willing to try anything
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I believe flashing the stock ROM does not require root.

Also, are you S-Off? If so, you apparently don't need to be rooted to flash a custom ROM, if you are still S-off.

Hi guys. I'm trying to downgrade the radio in my HTC incredible from 2.15 to a stock 1.00 but any of the guides I've found are just for the incredibles with the older amoled screen, not the newer slcd screen which I have. Every time I downgrade with a regular radio I lose all functionality of my screen and it goes black and unresponsive. I end up having to put a recovery image on my SD card and flashing back to normal blindly.

Can someone PLEASE help me to flash a stock 1.00 radio on this phone and keep my screen running???

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwm1986:
That radio revision has to match the ROM version you are running. 1.00 radio has not been used since back in the 2.1 days... If you want to return to stock follow to "unroot" threads and once you flash over the original rom that should have changed everything to match again like you had just bought the phone.

I'm trying to customize the stock ROM more to my liking. I search but can't find how to fix the "log" to display actual calls made and not a endless list of text I've sent. From what I recalled there was a file I could flash, that would fix this problem.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
You would need a modified logsprovider.apk

This issue has been fixed in most custom ROMs. I'm not sure if a logsprovider.apk from a custom deodexed ROM would play nice with the stock ROM. Couldn't hurt to try.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] spvc500:
##### Working on HTC HD7 #####

Requirements:

Dev/Chevron unlocked device

TouchExplorer

Registry Editor

ChevronWP7.RingtoneInstaller

......

Make sure your device is unlocked.

Use Chevron Ringtone Installer to transfer your .wma ringtone that you wish to have as your sms alert.

Use touch Explorer to do the following:

Go to My Documents > My Ringtones

Copy the file

Go to Windows and Paste

make sure you know the filename.

Use Registry Editor to modify the following entry:

HKEY_CURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS\Sound

you will see that the current name is whatever your sms alert is currently set to.

eg: "\Windows\Alert_01.wma"

Just replace the filename with the one you just put into your Windows directory.

This saves the value as your current setting but it will not reflect the change in your settings.

I didn't think it worked until I received a new text message.

I think you can modify your alarm sounds and other notifications in the same way although I have not tried this yet.

I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work on other devices if you can get a ringtone to be saved in the windows folder and you can edit your registry as these two locations are not device specific.

...

There is registry value for Alarms, Notifications etc but on my device the option to modify the value is not available. All you would need to do is be able to modify and save this back and you should get the list of alerts including your custom ones in the settings menu.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JosepHenry:
Instead of replacing the current Alert Sounds that I have is it possible to add to the list i.e. more than alert sounds?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandebob:
So I got my self to thinking; What is the best way to handle connectivity for my devices?

I have a rooted/rom'd Evo Shift, and will have my gTab soon (hopefully). I generally leave BT on my phone on all the time, and it is currently paired with my Car's head unit to stream audio and hands free calls.

Do I pair my table to my phone via BT and tether?

What are the consequences of leaving that on all the time? How would that affect the battery life of the phone and tablet? I know in the old days when you used the PAM (phone as modem) your phone didn't get any internet connectivity. Is that the case with BT tethering?

Do I pair my tablet with my head unit? I don't know if it can be paired with more then one device. I doubt it though. Maybe just pair hands free from my phone and a2dp from the gtab? Not sure if that is possible, have to read the head unit's manual.

I apologize for the incoherent ramblings. I'm trying to figure out what other people have done along with what works well, or what doesn't work at all.

Thanks,
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandebob:
So I've read up a little more and found some answers.

Looks like I can get GPS information from my phone via blue tooth. This will be awesome in the car. Any one who has done this, is it possible to get internet tethering via blue tooth from the same phone at the same time?

Using wifi to tether data while i use blue tooth for GPS information is possible, but doesn't seem very elegant.

It doesn't look like my head unit can have multiple BT pairings active at the same time. Guess I will have to use an aux cable for the tab and BT for my phone.

An ideal solution would be for my tab to use wifi for internet if available, and tether via BT to my phone if a wifi network is not available. It would be nice to leave the tethering open all day, but I think that would drain my phones battery something fierce. My over all concept it to have a personal network of interconnected devices with my phone acting as their connection to the internet.

Any advice, comments, death threats or criticism (constructive or not).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Bluetooth GPS sharing is very doable. There are several threads dedicated to setting this up. Looks like you may have found a few of them.

Tethering BT data to your phone is also very doable. Again, there are several threads on this, and I'm pretty active in most of them. Been working on this for a bit.

Start with this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001496

Wifi tethering is much easier. The issue I've had is mostly around BT and Wifi signal conflicts. I don't see it much in just using BT GPS and WiFi Data, but if I receive a call (I use a BT headset when on the road), the quality of my call is in the toilet for at least a minute or so. My guess is that the Tab is trying to get WiFI data from the phone (which it won't be able to because I'm on the phone - VZW CDMA - can't be on the Net and on phone at same time). After about a minute or so, it calms down. Unacceptable solution though.

So, I've now been mostly doing GPS & Data through Bluetooth to the phone. The problem with this hookup is again when I take a call, of course my Data drops on the tab (no way around that). But even worse, the GPS signal gets degraded too. I'm thinking just not enough Bluetooth bandwidth to support Headset, Data, and GPS at the same time?

So my most recent setup (just tried it for a bit today) is to use an external Bluetooth GPS (got one on Amazon for about $25.00) and then Bluetooth Tether to the phone for data. It's a little bit complicated, and involves yet another 'gadget', but I am getting the best results from this setup so far.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandebob:
Thanks for the info.

I'm on sprint and know the "no data and voice" problem all to well. Even when using maps for navigation on my phone, if a call comes in, the GPS becomes retarded and inaccurate. Once the call ends, all is good.

with getting data from your phone via bluetooth, is that something you leave on all the time or do you have to turn on BT tethering when you want data?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I haven't been using that often to be honest. So when I do, I turn on BT tethering at that time.

I also use Co-Pilot for Navigation. It doesn't need data, just GPS. Map data is downloaded to the sdcard. Just depends on how I feel at that moment. Both nav systems have their advantages/disadvantages.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandebob:
I'll have to check out co-pilot. storing maps for offline use sounds like a good idea, as long as they don't get stale.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandebob:
OK, so I've kind of got blue tooth GPS data working. Using an app called "ShareGPS" on my phone and "BlueToothGPS" on my gtab, I've successfully gotten gps data to my tab. Using the BlueToothGPS app on my tab, i can see satellites and GPS data flowing. Unfortunately maps doesn't seem to get location data, and there doesn't appear to be a way to enable GPS data in any of the settings.

Running TnT lite. Any one know how I can get maps to see the GPS data?

Space on the device, and space on the partition are two very different things. I use Root Explorer, and that tells you exactly how much space is available in the partition...

You need root and need to set the folder to r/w to write to that directory.

You should really be putting that file in the data/app folder instead.

2 - moved the apk to the root of the SD card

3- run Apps Installer

Hi all,

I'd like to share a tip that might help those who've experienced weak internet speeds when connected to your hotspot. I'm not going to claim that this is a 100% working tip, but it might be.

So basically I noticed that my average download speeds took a massive plunge after I switched over to Telus from Rogers, and bought a DHD, thinking it was the stock ROM, I couldn't wait to install a custom ROM, but my problem remained, so the next step was maybe update my wireless drivers, and while I was going through the settings, I found that Adhoc support 802.11n was disabled, so I enabled it and things took off from there.

I went from no more than 100kb/s to an average 500kb/s. Even the average load times while browsing changed noticeably.

On windows 7, click start, right click my computer and select properties, locate your wireless card, right click and hit properties again, go to advanced, and if your wireless card supports Adhoc, you'll see the option in the box on the left, see if its enabled.

if its not enabled and you've been having problems then enable it and reconnect to your wifi hotspot.

picture included.
